Dynamic Task Space Control Enables Soft Manipulators to Perform Real‐World Tasks
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2023 Dynamic motions are a key feature of robotic arms, enabling them to perform tasks quickly and efficiently. A majority of real‐world soft robots rely on a quasistatic control approach, without taking dynamic characteristics into consideration. As a result,

Analecta Technica Szegedinensia, 2022 Widely used robot systems have a rigid base structure that limits the interaction with their environment. Due to the inflexible attachment points, conventional robotic structures can only manipulate objects with their special gripping system. It can be difficult for these systems to grasp objects with different shapes, handle complex surfaces or ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 This manuscript describes a unique class of locomotive robot: A soft robot, composed exclusively of soft materials (elastomeric polymers), which is inspired by animals (e.g., squid, starfish, worms) that do not have hard internal skeletons. Soft lithography was used to fabricate a pneumatically actuated robot capable of sophisticated locomotion (e.g ...
